Patented Mar. 8, 1949 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE BOW' QUIVER Fred B. Bear, Detroit, Mich. Application January 16, 1946, Serial No. 641,457"- (Cl. 224ll.5)

10 Claims. 1

This application relates to bow quivers.

A-quiver is a device used in archery for containing arrows. In this application, I disclose a quiver formedto be detachably secured to a bow whereby it forms a part of the bow, enabling arrows to be carried by the quiver secured to the bow.

For an understanding of the bow quiver herein disclosed, reference should be had to the appended drawing.

In this drawing,

Fig. l is a side view' of a bow on which is mounted the bow quiver'her'eof.-

Fig. 2 is a fragmentary view, with a portion cut away to illustrate the construction of the quiver.

Fig. 3 is a view as if in the direction of the arrow 3 of Figure 2.

Fig. 4 is a view as if in the direction of the arrow 4 of Figure 2.

Fig. 5 is a section view as if on line 5-5 of Figure '2.

The drawing shows a bow Ill whose handle l l, covered with suitable covering material, such as leather, is provided on one side with an arrow notch l2. To the other side of the handle is attached the bow quiver hereof which will now be described.

Ihe bow quiver hereof comprises an elongated base l5 having a laterally extending sheet metal bracket l6 at its lower end enabling the base to be detachably mounted by a screw I! passing through an aperture of the bracket 16 and threading into the bow W, with the bracket thus mounted on theside of the hand grip or central part or handle of the bow. Teeth 18 of the bracket 18 bite into the bow to restrain the bracket from turning.

The screw l! is threaded into the handle ll of the bow and thus detachably but rigidly mounts the bracket l6 and the base IE on the bow at the side thereof.

The bracket lthas integral loops l9 which are looped around and secured to wire 20 forming a wire frame for the base, the frame 20 being covered with sheet material, such as leather, to form a rigid thin base of considerable length and width.

At thelower endof the base is a resilient transverse rack 2| in which may be disposed arrows arranged across the rack, to be parallel to the bow, with the rack having notches 22, three of which are shown for receiving three arrows 23. The resilience of the material of which the rack 2! is formed will cause the rack to grip the arrows as they are disposed in the rack notches, while" nevertheless permitting free and easy removal of an arrow from the rack 2! or insertion of an arrow into the rack 2|.

At the upper end of the base is a block 24,

also of resilient material, preferably sponge rubher, with sockets 25 for receiving the tips of arrows mounted and held in the rack. The resilience of the rack 2| and theblock 24 cause the arrows to be firmly held in the quiver with-" out danger of rattling or becoming separated from the quiver.

The base l5 and the bracket l6 and the screw II are so formed and so located that the base is disposed well away from the bow, as indicated in Figure 3 where a considerable distance X is shown between the base and the bow. In addition the base is well away from the bow and the string. In this way the quiver does not in any way impair the accuracy of shooting.

Now having described the bow quiver herein tending bracket enabling the base to be detachably mounted on the side of the central part of the bow, the base having at its lower end a transverse rack in which may be disposed arrows ar ranged across the rack to be parallel to the bow,

the rack having notches for receiving the arrows and being formed of resilient material for resiliently gripping the arrows in the rack notches, the base having at'its upper end a socketed block of resilient material for receiving the tips of arrows mounted and held in the rack.

2. In combination, a bow and a quiver comprising an elongated base having a laterally extending bracket enabling the base to be detach ably mounted on the side of the central part of the bow, the base having at its lower end a transverse rack in which may be disposed arrows arranged across the' rack to be parallel to the bow, the rack having notches for receiving the arrows and being formed of resilient material for resiliently gripping the arrows in the rack notches, the base having at its upper end a socketed block of resilient material for receiving the tips of arrows mounted and held in the rack, the base comprising a wire frame covered with sheet material to form a rigid thin base of considerable length and width.

3. In combination, a bow and a quiver comprising an elongated base having a laterally extending bracket enabling the base to be detachably mounted on the side of the central part of the how, the base having at its lower end a transverse rack in which may be disposed arrows arranged across the rack to be parallel to the bow, the rack having notches for receiving the arrows and being formed of resilient material for resiliently gripping the arrows in the rack notches, the base having at its upper end a socketed block of resilient material for receiving the tips of arrows mounted and held in the rack, the bracket comprising a sheet metal member secured to the base and having an aperture for receiving a screw bolt threaded into the bow at the hand grip,

whereby the screw bolt may detachably mount the bracket on the bow at the hand grip.

4. In combination, a bow and a quiver comprising an elongated base having a laterally extending bracket enabling the base to be detachably mounted on the side of the central part of the bow, the base having at its lower end a trans-. verse rack in which may be disposed arrows arranged across the rack to be parallel to the bow, the rack having notches for receiving the arrows and being formed of resilient material for resiliently gripping the arrows in the rack notches, the base having at its upper end a socketed block of resilient material for receiving the tips of arrows mounted and held in the rack, the base comprising a wire frame covered with sheet material to form a rigid thin base of considerable length and width, the bracket comprising a sheet metal member secured to the base wire frame, and having an aperture for receiving a screw bolt threaded into the bow at the hand grip whereby the screw bolt may detachably mount the bracket on the bow at the hand grip.

5. In combination, a bow and a quiver comprising an elongated base having a laterally extending bracket enabling the base to be detachably mounted on the side of the central part of the bow, the base having at its lower end a transverse rack in which may be disposed arrows arranged across the rack to be parallel to the bow, the rack having notches for receiving the arrows and being formed of resilient material for resiliently gripping the arrows in the rack notches, the base having at its upper end a socketed block of resilient material for receiving the tips of arrows mounted and held in the rack, the bracket being bent so that the base may be disposed well away from the bow and string and to one side thereof.

6. In combination, a bow and a quiver comprising an elongated base having a laterally extending bracket enabling the base to be detachably mounted on the side of the central part of the bow, the base having at its lower end a transverse rack in which may be disposed arrows ar-- ranged across the rack to be parallel to the bow, the rack having notches for receiving the arrows and being formed of resilient material for resiliently gripping the arrows in the rack notches; the base having at its upper end a socketed block of resilient material for receiving the tips ,of
